Injury Control Research Centers

Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs) are specialized institutions dedicated to studying, preventing, and reducing injuries, such as those from accidents or violence. They conduct research to understand how injuries happen and develop strategies, policies, and educational programs to improve safety. Funded mainly by government agencies, ICRCs collaborate with communities, healthcare providers, and policymakers to create effective injury prevention initiatives, ultimately aiming to save lives and reduce the burden of injury-related health issues.
